GAS-IRON HOSE CONNECTER.

Application filed March 2, 19:22.

To all '1c/10m 'if may concern Be it known that LHERMAN A. PAQUETTE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago7 in the county of Cook and Stat-e of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a. (ias-Iron Hose Connecter; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specilication.

This invent-ion relates more Vparticularly to an improved type of a burner connecter adapted primarily for use in connecting a gas nozzle of a supply hose with the end of the gas intake pipe of agas heated flat iron.

It is an object of this invention to provide an improved burner connecter adapted' to permit a hose or flexible tube to be removably connected to a. pipe.

Itis also an object of the invention to provide a connecter wherein a spring controlled apertured lever is adapted to lockingly engage a notched plug to hold the plug locked in the connecter.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a` gas connecter' having air intake openings therein and adapted to remov` ably receive the apertured end of a fuel supply nozzle removably locked therein to permit. fuel passing from the nozzle to be ignited through said openings and mix with air before passing into a pipe to which the connecter is secured.

It is a further object of this invention to provide a connecter socket having a spring controlled apert-ured lever projecting transL versely therethrough to lockingly engage a grooved plug when the same is projected into the connecter socket through the aperture in said lever. A

It is an important object of this invention to provide a simple. inexpensive.andeasily releasab-le burner connecter adapted to be mounted on a pipe to removably receiveA a hose plug or burner nozzle lockingly engaged therein. y

Other and `further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the dis closures in the specification and the accompanying dra-wings.

The invention (in a preferred form) is Serial No. 540,393.

illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.

(ln the drawings:

Figure l is a side elevation of a gas iron having a. gasc hose connected thereto by means of a quick release connecter embodying the principles of this invention.

.Figure (i is a transverse section taken on lino (3 6 of Figure 3.

shown on the drawings:

The reference numeral l indicates agas heated tlat iron having a gas intake tube or or pipe 2 secured to one end thereof. The outer end of the pipe 2 is externally threaded to permit the interior-ly threaded end ol? an improved burner connecter to be secured thereon.

l The connecter comp-rises a cylindrical casingor housing' 3 interiorly threaded at l. the mounting end. Provided near the, mounting end of the housing 3 are a plurality of circumfcrentially arranged air intake apertures or openings rlhe opposite end of the housing is closed by an end plate (3 having openings 7 and 8 therein. The housin g 2% is provided with a passaged transverse wall or partition 9 having a recess or pocket l0 therein. A mixing or burner chamber 1l is provided in the housing and has the opening 5 communicating therewith. The plug receiving end of the housing or socket 3 is cut away at opposite. sides to atford longitudinal openings or slots 12 between the partition 9 and the vend plate 6, leaving two bars 'i3 c iiiiiectiiigtlie end plate with the partition 9.

fligidl'v secured by means of a' screw l-l to one side of the housing opposite the recess l() in the partitionplate. is a two arm bracket 15. A pivot pin 16 connects the. arms of the bracket Pivotally engaged on the pin 1 6 is one end of a locking lever 1 7 having an opening 18 therein. The sides-of the lever are bent at an angle to alford guide flanges 19." Seated 4in the partition wall recess 10 is one end Vof a 4coiled control spring 20, the other end of which is engaged around al pin or rivet 21 secured to the lever 1T. The. lever 17 projects through the housing openings 12 and is held in an elevated inclined position as illustrated in lull lines in Figure. 3, b v theV action ot' the control spring 20.

The reterence numeral 22 indicates a gas supply tube or hose adapted to have one end connected to a gas suppljY jet or cock The other end of the' gas hose Yvided with a small gas discharge aperture 27.

The operation is as follows: Y The connecter is adapted to he threaded onto the end of the fiat ii'on pipe 2, as illustrated in Figure 2:3, with the mixing chainber 11 positioned adjacent the end ot' the ipe 12. To connect the gas supply hose 22 with the tlat iron l the plug 2? is inserted through the end plate oj'iening 'T ot the connecter housing. rl`he slightly tapered end of the plug 23 passes through the lever opening 18 and then through the partition opening into the mixing chamber 11 between lthc air intake openings The gas discharge aperture 27 is thus positioned adjacent the open end of the flat iron intake pipe lhe plug 23 is pushed into the connecter until the plug groove 2o reaches the lever 1T at. which time the spring 2() acts to engage the inclined leverjin said groove. Then this occurs the plug is locked in the connecter by the lever l? against retraction. Y

lhen the suppl)Y ot gas is turned on.` gas flows through the hose and the plug 2?) and is discharged through tht` nozzle aperture 2T into the mixing chamber 1l. The opening 5 causes a draft inwardl)Y through the pipe 2 and through the flat iron 1. The gas is lighted through the connecter openings 5 therebyvv causing the resulting gas flame to be directed into the pipe 2 to heat the fiat ii'on.

',lo reinove the plug 2?) 'troni the connecter`r the plug 23 and the lever are moved in- Y wardlv until the lever 17 reaches the dotted line position of 1*`igure 3 at right angles to the plug i3. The plug iii-ay now be retracted through the lever opening 18 and troni the connecter housing. Upon release ot the lever the compressed control spring tl Vacts to return the lever intopits normal position.

l ain aware that numerous details ot construction maj.v be varied through a wide range Without departing'trointhe principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent v granted otherwise 4than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

l. A gas iron hose connecter comprising a housing, a passaged partition therein, said housing having a plurality of circumferentiallj7 arranged openings therein onone side ot the partition and a pair ot oppositelv disposed openings therein on the opposite side ot' the partition, a bracket secured to said housing, an apertured lever pivot-allyV supported on said bracket and projecting through said opp'ositeljyv disposed housing openings, and a spring in said housing engaging said lever to hold the saine inA an inclined position with respect to the housing.

2. A connecter of the class described coniprising an aperturedhousing, an apertured lever pivotally supported thereon and propecting therethrough with the aperture therein substantially aligned witlithe aperture in the housing, and a spring insaid housing connected with the lever for holdving the saine in a locking position.

A connecter of the classdescribed coin prising an apertured housing VVhaving' Van apcrtured partition integrally formed transversely therein, a bracket supported on the housing, a pin thereon,l an apertured lever pivoted on said pin and projecting through said housing, said housing adapted to have a peripherally grooved plug insertedv therein projecting through the apertured lever. and means in said housing for holding said Vlever at an inclined angle withrespect to said plug to permit the lever to engage in the lever groove to hold theplug locked in said housing'. 'Y i Y 4. The combination with an apertured connecter.. housing` of af spring Vcontrolled apertured lever pi-votallyv supported on the housing and projecting therethrough` and a plug having a peripheral Agroove adapted to be projected into the housing through the apertured lever to permit. the lever to engage Vin said groove to hold the plug locked in the housing.

The combination with an apertured means in said housingv adapted Ato hold theV noV lever inclined with respect to the plug to scribed my name in the presence of two permit the levelr tol engage in the plug subscribing Witnesses.

roove to hold t 1e ug locked in the housigiig, said lever adalpted to be depressed to HERMAN A' PAQUE 1E' 5 permit release of the plug and Withdrawal Witnesses:

thereof from the housing. FRED E. PAESLER,
